The Art of Hair: Hidden curls

Thursday

Sonja Horan, co-host of "Speaking of Golf" and a Times-News golf correspondent, walked into my salon with the straight hair you see in the before picture.

After reading my column, she decided to see if what I say is true or just a false promise.

Sonja's hair was fine, but as soon as I wet her hair, it was curly. The weight in her cut in the before picture is pulling whatever natural curl she has out of her hair.

Sonja's face is a heart shape, so her hair should be cut at jaw length. Why? Well, if you look at the after picture, you will notice her face has the appearance of more width, or looks more oval.

Bangs call your attention to her eyes, but also cut down on width and length, making a heart to appear more oval like in the after picture.

All I can say is, Sonja's exact words were, "What Michael says in his articles is true, everyone seems to have a bob. I knew that I had curl in my hair. But until Michael cut my hair, no other stylist could ever bring it out.

"I don't need to use a blow dryer or flat iron any longer - I am free. this is huge!"

Well, you heard it right from a local writer, Sonja Horan, so I guess you see why her cut is definitely a hole-in-one.

My next before-and-after is extreme; just read the article on Sept. 27. So until next time, I hope you always feel and look your best. Thank you!
